Aluminium is remarkable for the its low density and for its ability
to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation. Structural
components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the
aerospace industry and are important in other areas of transportation
and structural materials. The most useful compounds of aluminium, at
least on a weight basis, are the oxides and sulfates.
